We don't have a podcast this week as Natasha's kids are sick and Emily just moved and life is very hectic for everyone. But we will be back at it next week. And in the meantime, we urge you to listen to some of our most recent episodes, like the episode on Candida or tantrums and hitting.

We appreciate you. And thanks for listening. And we will talk to you next week.

In this episode, we address two challenging behaviors parents face: tantrums and hitting. We'll explore why children resort to these actions, and strategies for responding to and managing both tantrums and hitting, Whether you're dealing with a toddler who’s just starting to hit or an older child struggling with aggressive outbursts, this episode answers all of your questions on this topic to help you navigate.

One of the leaders in functional medicine, Dr. Elroy Vojdani, is back to talk all about Candida. Natasha shares her story of fatigue, which doctors dismissed as simply being associated with having four kids. She will discuss her journey of how she was diagnosed and how she treated the Candida with Dr. Vojdani. He will answer questions about the symptoms, how you know if you have it, whether there’s a test, how to test for it, and what impact COVID has on Candida.
